Tt is pleasing for a state to be known as “The Bread Basket of the World.” The golden grain has inspired poets, it is good to look at, nice to handle and quick 1o realize on. The glowing picture of a wheatland is absent when one boasts of corn. But as disappoint- ment has trailed the wheat grower, as the wheat belt has moved gradually west from New England even to beyond North Dakota, and corn, hogs and the dairy cow have followed in its wake, bringing a stable income, the farmer and the business man have come to look twice at a country which can pi®duce abundant corn and fat, sleek hogs. It was in 1923 that Bismarck, in fact all North Dakota, realized the full import of the steady increase of corn acre- age in the state. Wheat and other grains had failed, but corn proved a life-saver to many farmers. It fattened cattle, furnished ensilage for the dairy cow and prepared many hogs for the market. The whole state realized it was in the corn belt, but particularly was this fact impressed upon people of the Missouri Slope and central - southern North Dakota. Had the corn crop dismally failed this year it perhaps would have been a hard blow to the section. Now that southwestern North Dakota has produced a good corn crop in one of the most unfavorable years on record for corn, it must be acknowledged that corn is a safe, sure crop for this section of the state. And a big corn crop annually, with cattle and hogs to feed it to, is going to make an Iowa out of southwestern North Dakota. Surely, news that the bulk of the corn crop is safe is the best news Bismarck and her neighbors have had in a long time. PROSPERITY Production of the leading basic industries dropped off more than a fifth between February and June, according to the Federal Reserve Board's estimates. The decline con- tinued. Later—when we get the perspective of time—we’ll Jock back and realize that a sharp turn upward started in August. During August, steel ingot production increased 36 per cent over the July output. So goes steel, so goes general business and national prosperity. New York state factories are “putting on more men.” The tide has turned, economists announce. Men had bten laid off steadily since March. Employment swung upward in August. This information is of national importance, for the em- ployment condition of New York factories has been found to be a barometer of general employment nationally. The weathervanes all point to better times. Once elec- iion is over and out of the way, things should go ahead faster. Publishers DETROIT Kresge Bldg. FAR “Interest paid on total farm indebtedness consumed all capital earnings in the crops years 1920-21 and 1921-22. In the next two years there was a return of 3.1 (three and a tenth) per cent on the total capital invested in agriculture, including rewards of management.” So runs the government report. My, wouldn’t we have a low cost of living if all other industries got only 3 per cent profit, like the farm! How- ever, industry is embarking on a years-long voyage of big sales but low rates of profit compared with the past. The chief effects of sharp competition is low profits. That’s why businesses so readily consolidate into semi-monopolies. EARNINGS Seventy-one leading corporations, representing eight different classes of stocks, report they made net earnings averaging nearly 6 per cent in the first six months this year. During which time, mind you, business conditions were going on the rocks. If the farmer made as much, he’d call it a boom, not depression. Remembering wartime pros- perity, industry is inclined to wear a long face unless it’s raining gold watches. Get some old-timer to tell you about the Panic of ’73— and learn that our generation doesn’t know what hard times are. e “ SMITHY Wall Street Journal Jaments the passing of smiths.

She told me he used to grieve for me daily, and she never came into the room that his little face did not light up, and fall again when he saw it was not I. The last we he said at night were spoken with a little trembling lip: ‘dl want my p’itty muvver.” It doesn’t seem possible, Ruth that I can have a deeper and more astounding love for my own child when it comes than I have for this boy; but if I do, in spite of all I may try to conceal, I know I can- not keep it from little Jack. He seems to have an uncanny intuit- ion’ where I am concerned. I would not tell all this to John, dear Ruth, even if we were friends with each other. Speaking friends—I wonder if John and I have ever been friends. We are the most impetuous of lovers, but | I don’t believe we are real friends. | If I should tell my doubts and fears about little Jack to John he would say: “Well, yeu know you |have adopted the baby; it’s up to you.” You know, Ruth, his mother is all the time bringing up “What are you‘going to do when you have children of your own?” It is her almost daily inquiry whenever she sees me with my son. |_ He is my son, Ruth.

I voluntarily took upon myself thd responsibility of his life, and I shall never forget it under any circumstances, Surely the good God will not make me unhappy in this loving duty. Then, Ruth, there is another and perhaps even greater ques- tion that has come into my mind. I have been thinking very much lately about it, and I have been and over again. Is John and me to continue to live together as husband and wife? It seems to me we are never in each other’s society for an hour without finding something about which to gree, Although it ay be because of my sensitive- ness, at times it has seemed to |me that I have surprised upon his face a look, when he was talking of Paula Perier or Sally Atherton which or other young women, might be there because he dering if these women wer better suited to him than I. You see I'm rather type. Life means much more to me than just having a good time. To tell you the truth, Ruth, I have dimly ‘suspected there comes a time in every married woman’s life when she asks herself the same question I am asking myself. Men do not take matrimony so seriously; at least they do not seem to do so. When they grow tired and bored and doubtful and y get away from it Either they take up business more seriously: they go more and more into the com- pany of men, they spend evenings at the club—or, yes, flirt with another woman.

W. Barron. He is publisher of the Wall Street Journal and other financial organs. He might better say that most of the spellbinders and ;Propagandists are teaching people distorted or fals¢ economics. In a political argument, both sides naturally exaggerate. That is part of the art of salesmanship. And a politician is ja salesman — marketing the services of himself and his party. With all due respect to Candidate-For and Candidate- Against, truth or common sense is apt to be the happy |medium about half way between their rival claims. In suggestions that the average politicians are spreading false economics, we do not in particular have in mind any new propositions being set forth. There is quite as much false economics in many of the old issues. Take the old economic law (or claim is a better word) that prices are regulated by supply and demand. Every one admits that supply and demand have a lot to do with it. But there are other factors that intervene to shape prices — including monopolies, greed, loopholes in the laws, manipu- jlation of markets, propaganda, and the pitiful condition by which the consumer is held up in so many cases for the last penny he can stand. ‘ But the presidential campaign is teaching sound cco- nomics along with the distorted and false, because it is mak- ing people THINK. Our national political circuses cost a lot of money and disrupt business conditions. They are worth all they cost, however, if for no other reason than that they periodically focus the public’s attention on evils that are | been aili ciding. undermining political and economic democracy.

[ MANDAN NEWS | Fine Points In Beautifying City Are Urged A comprehensive program of civic improvement was outlined to the members of the Kiwanis Club at their noonday luncheon today by Mrs. Anna Stark of the park Com- mission, In her talk Mrs. Stark em- Phasized the fact that it was impos- sible for the park board to assume complete responsibility for all Civic improvements. She asked for the cooperation of the City Commission and all of the civic clubs in the city. The first point. to be emphasized by Mrs. Stark was the enfokcement of the weed ordinance, A city can not present a beautiful appearance to outsiders passing through it if weeds are pegmitted to grow promiscuosly throughout. She urged that the weed: law be enforced. Other points discussed by the speaker included the terracing of 6th ave. hill and restricting it for resi- dential purposes with occasional small garden patches of. flowers and shrubs, A nice drive should be com- pleted to the hospital. Electric stoves for the tourist camp with flowers and shrubs for Chautauqua Park were also held forth as a need- ed civic improvement. The road lead- ing north from the grounds: should be put in first class condition she declared. DIES IN Mrs, L. J. E for many y ident of Man- dan, died at 4 o'clock Monday after- noon at her home in.
